Summary

Money is short in their little house in Blackburn, and Ruby yearns to give her beloved family a better life. Determined to enjoy the security only wealth can bring, she stifles her feelings for young men, and works as a maid for Mr. Banks and his daughter, Cicely. When she finally finds work in a milliner's shop, and takes over the business, she learns that worldly success still leaves an emptiness that riches cannot fill, and that the love of family and friends is beyond price.

Author Biography

Josephine Cox was born in a cotton-mill house in Blackburn, one of ten children. At the age of sixteen, Josephine met and married her husband Ken, and had two sons. When the boys started school, she decided to go to college and eventually gained a place at Cambridge University. She was unable to take this up as it would have meant living away from home, but she went into teaching - and started to write her first full-length novel. Her strong, gritty stories are taken from the tapestry of life.
